Today I would like to feature a guest post by my favorite Junior Geologist, Patrick. The text that follows in italics are his words. He will describe the fun project we completed while the twins were napping one day.

I like to collect these: shells, rocks, and minerals. They are from my great-grandfather and my grandmother.

One day I brought a small box with a lot of minerals and rocks in it to school. I wanted my friends to see the rest of my collection, so Mom and I made a poster at home to bring to school for show-and-share.

We made a rainbow out of colorful rocks, shells, and minerals. We took some pictures of the collection. Next I wanted to sort out white and clear.

I sorted out animals. Then I sorted out rocks and minerals.

I made a shelf that was all animals.

I glued pictures on poster paper. I labeled each picture.

Now it’s me again! I loved following Patrick’s interest to work on this project. It makes me smile that he wants to share his passion with his classmates. Many thanks to Honey and my grandpa Buddy for the amazing collection. It brings us joy to curate it.
